In my absence, my D= ad went to Assateague, from the marsh trail he observed an Eared Grebe, i= think he said it was the 24th of March. Today while landscaping in Howa= rd County I heard a Ruby-throated Hummingbird near the Hickory Ridge Shop= ping Center, I was busy and thought it might hang around for a bit and di= dn't look for it right away. I heard him call about a half dozen times a= nd then he was gone. There were also a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks disp= laying and landed on what appeared to be an old nest.
